Yes, but he used version 2.6.x before!

However, my guess is that jmk uses Windows (he didn't
say) and it's well-known that lilypond-book doesn't work
there. The workaround is to
- Install the windows version of python from www.python.org
 and add it to the PATH (see 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2006-04/msg00363.html 
for more details)
- Run lilypond-book using
python C:\Program Files\lilypond\usr\bin\lilypond-book
- The first time you run lilypond-book, you will still get an
error message, but if you just run the same command once
more it will work (see 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2006-03/msg00116.html
for an explanation).
